Michael Schumacher’s son Mick drove his first Grand Prix-winning Benetton car celebrating 25 years of victory at the Belgian GP.
Michael Schumacher is one of the greatest drivers to ever step on the four wheels in motorsports. He won seven world championships in his prestigious career.
One of the highlights of Schumacher’s career is his stint with Benetton where he won two world championships. The German has had great wins throughout his career, especially his first victory at the Belgian Grand Prix.
Schumacher’s son Mick took his Belgian Grand Prix-winning Benetton B194 on a spin on the track in 2017. It was a special event marking the seven times world champion’s 25th year since his first F1 victory in 1992.
The Haas driver had a special helmet ready to celebrate this special occasion. The helmet is split in half with his Formula 3 design on the right and his dad’s design from 1994 on the left.
